Hey everyone,  
I want to create a scripted field with painless that basically does this:

If(doc['field'].value== val){  
return("go to site 1");}  
Else{return ("go to site 2");}

And I don't see how I can add a hyperlink (an url to my "go to site 1" and" go to site 2")  
I Want different url for each case and I don't want the url to show in my dashboard just "go to site 1" and "go to site 2".  
Anyone got any idea how I can do this?

You can use the scripted field to return a URL string and [string field formatter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/field-formatters-string.html) to format that URL string into an hyper link when rendered.

Thanks for your answer! That's what I was trying to do but it gives me the same label for both URLs and I want to have two different labels that don't have the URLs in them .
